Question

i`m assuming the boss at the end of the headers just before the up-pipe is for a EGT sensor. Anyone know where i can get a plug for this boss as i won`t be fitting an EGT sensor

Having this prob myself, left it at my dads for the mo and asked him to see what he can do. How about using a second hand/broken lambda probe to plug it?

I reckon there's going to be quite a few of us needing those. If anyone finds a source, please post it here.

Thumbs up

TSL's web site suggests that they sell blanking plugs (about 2/3 down the page, Find "TSL Lambda Blanking Plug").

The Scoobyshop item is the TSL plug. It's intended for blanking a downpipe lambda hole. Hopefully this is the same dimensions as the fitment position on the Gruppe-S headers.

Or a spark plug from a ford pinto engine will do the trick , break out the middle and weld over the hole
